4 RAPID TRANSIT COMMISSION FARCE.


THE MANHATTAN COMPANY NOT PLEASED WITH ITS
SERVANTS; so IT NEEDN'T PAY THEIR BILLS.
The Rapid Transit Commission for whose existence
the Manhattan Railway Conn any WINS responsible was
tho subject Of great deal Of discussion IN railroad
circles yesterday. According to current statements
tho Commission had seriously considered holding
SESSION. announced. Wednesday. Although
the Manhattan Company lad refused TO accept
what the commission had given itafter being fright
cned out Of the Battery "loop" feature by the pro-
tests in the newspapcrs-and although IL was gener
ally supposed that tho commission was as dead IA
q doOfnaI," at least for tho purpose of plans and
routes, Its ninety days having expired, still IL
learned yesterday that that body had really conten
Tor this II cause Of denslNe laughter among
those who love not tle Manhattan Company. Tho
statute provides that that company which takes the
conclusions OF RAPID Transit Commission and bids
the franchise IN shall pay all the expenses OF the
commission, which include s10 sitting for each
commissioner, stenosraphio bills, pleasure trips TO
expenses which I'm thu case OF the Metropolitan and
NowYork Elevated fUddl amounted TO about
$4,000. As the Manhattan Company has refused to
take the routes, with conditions laid By the 10
quandary over who should Jay their expenses
There Is no provision in law for this, already
stated IL Is minated that tho commissioners
finally concluded that their financial salvation lay
solely in arriving at results which would be accopta-
bio 10 the Manhattan Company, so that 1t would
cept the plans and routes decided upon by the
way out of the difficulty to hold another meeting
and subscribe 10 the terms Of the Manhattan Com
pany. At the last moment, however, the commission
advised that it dead that further kicks on

gracefully acknow led ed itself absolutely dead Who
